I’m still a managing editor on all of my student weblogs, including the ones from last year. A message came in on Lucy’s blog, one of my NewsQuest students from last year. I still find this part of weblogs amazing.
Lucy’s post from 2/27/03:
| T.J. Lathe |
One day T.J. Lathe and a couple of other missionaries were on a missionary trip in Honduras. As they were going to a hospital that another mission group had bulit to talk to some people they noticed that they had to cross a swinging bridge. Well, the view was so beautiful that they wanted to take some pictures to remember the scenary. So as they were taking some pictures the swinging bridge collapsed and some people were injured. T.J. Lathe was not only injured……he was killed. At my chuch, Grace Fellowship, we were all mourning his death. But,…..we were also very, very, very glad to know that he was in heaven and that he had met his creator. The family has a good time remembering the memories and are very happy to know that they will see him in Heaven some day!!!  The pastor of Grace Fellowship was interviewed. I am happy to know this and also his family said that T.J. Leigh died doing what he wanted to do…..spread the news about God!! Signing out, Lucy U.:)

Hi Lucy,
I was looking on the internet and I saw this website talking about T.J. Lathe. Well…. T.J. was my dad and i miss him a lot. What you wrote about him really makes me feel happy and very proud of you. My dad was a good man and he died in the mission field which was where his heart was at. This does not discourage me from going into the mission field now because I know it is what he would still be doing if he were alive. Thank you for your comments about him they really mean a lot to me.
Sincerely,
Joel Lathe
The voices continue…..
